Why Sellers Choose Us

What a Montpelier switchgear sale involves on your end

01You Are Paid Before It Moves

Funds change hands before a single section leaves your property. There is no consignment and no waiting on a downstream resale.

02No Testing Is Required

You are never asked to test, energize, clean or repair the gear. Our team evaluates it from the nameplate photos and our own inspection.

03We Cover Freight and Rigging

Lowboys, flatbeds, cribbing, section separation and permits are billed to us. That cost is already priced into the offer you receive.

04Our Crews Handle Teardown

Disconnection coordination, dismantling, rigging out of the electrical room and loading are performed by our crews at our expense.

The Montpelier Market

Whether it is one switchboard section behind a Montpelier strip center or a full medium voltage lineup, we will make an offer on it. We hold Vermont inventory moving through Burlington, so consolidating your Montpelier lineup onto an existing load is usually possible. Sellers are rarely asked to do more than grant site access. Teardown, section separation, rigging and transport are handled by our crews at our cost.

Every class of distribution equipment is in scope. What we see most often in Montpelier is 1200A 480V switchboards out of a retail service and arc-resistant lineups from a cancelled build. Across Vermont we also buy motor control centers with full starter buckets, 5kV magnetic air breaker sections on skids and MCC sections with VFD buckets still installed.

Who We Buy From

Our sellers here are typically property owners who inherited gear with a building, data center operators replacing distribution capacity, general contractors on an adaptive-reuse project. We also buy from oil and gas service yards and cold storage and food processing plants.

Most sales trace back to one of a few situations:

  • A cancelled or downsized build left new gear crated and never installed.
  • The plant closed and remaining assets are being liquidated.
  • The site is scheduled for demolition and the electrical rooms have to clear first.
  • Service capacity was upsized, leaving the previous gear as an unneeded spare.

Pickup and Freight in Montpelier

We stage flatbeds and lowboys near Burlington and dispatch into Montpelier as loads fill. We can work inside an active facility without shutting your operation down.

The gear is valued on its own merits. The cost of getting it out of Montpelier is absorbed on our side. Sellers who already hold a scrap quote often find the difference substantial, because a scrap figure deducts hauling and ignores what the breakers, buckets and bus are worth to somebody who needs them.

How the Sale Works

Four steps, none of which cost you anything

  1. Send What You Have

    A photograph of the nameplate and one wide shot down the front of the lineup is enough to begin. If the nameplate is gone, photograph the gear anyway and we will work from the construction, the bus and the breaker frames.

  2. Receive a Firm Offer

    We respond with a committed cash figure, usually the same day. It is an offer rather than an estimate, and it does not move afterward.

  3. Schedule on Your Terms

    Pickup in Montpelier is arranged around your outage window, plant shutdown or building access hours. Where a utility disconnect has to happen first, we coordinate the timing.

  4. We Pay, Then We Haul

    Payment is completed before anything moves. Our crew performs the teardown, the section separation, the rigging and the loading, and our truck removes it.

Selling Switchgear in Montpelier: Common Questions

Straight answers

Do you actually come to Montpelier to pick up switchgear?

Yes. We stage flatbeds and lowboys near Burlington and dispatch into Montpelier as loads fill. We do not ask you to arrange freight, separate sections or deliver anything to us.

Do I need to have the gear tested first?

No. Testing is never a condition of our offer. We assess a lineup from photos, the nameplate and our own inspection at pickup.

What if the breakers have already been pulled out?

We still buy it. A complete lineup with its breakers installed is worth more, but empty structures have real value in bus and steel, and loose breakers sitting on a shelf are worth quoting on their own. Tell us what is still there and what has already gone.

When do I get paid?

Before anything leaves your property. Payment is not contingent on us reselling the equipment afterward.

Will you buy a single section in Montpelier, or only full lineups?

Both. One switchboard section is worth a call, and if you have a full electrical room or several buildings coming down we will quote the entire lot as one purchase.

What if the lineup is still energized and in service?

That is normal. Tell us and we will coordinate the disconnection timing with your electrician or the utility, then handle the teardown and rigging ourselves.
